Live Like Your Hero

I came across a little story I wrote a while ago, that kind of sums up my attitude that we do have some control over our destiny, here it is:

Imagine that you are writing a book.

What would the hero in your story be
doing today? Would he or she be sitting around moping about their life? Would
they be focused on not having enough, being done wrongly by other people, would
they be down in the dumps and surrounded by other people that are? Is your hero
a jerk?

Or would the hero of your story be
having an exciting day? Would he spring out of bed excited for what is about to
happen? Would he be planning a thrilling adventure for today? Would he fill this chapter to the brim so the reader's can't put the book down?Is your hero somebody you admire?

If you are like me, I want to make the
story a great read! I want the hero to be interesting, down to
earth, wise, thinking out of the box, and surrounded by others with the same
mindset! I want his life to be adventuresome, fun, full of love, exciting, and prosperous!
I want my character to reach the end of his life and feel like nothing is undone
, with no regrets, no wish-I-woulda’s, a
fantastic ride!

You are that character. That book is
your life. You don't have to read someone else's story and wish it was you.You are writing your own story day by day, and get to choose what
you write down. Is today going to be a bad day, or are you going to write it as
a good day. Is today going to be a boring day, or are you going to write it as
an exciting day? You might not be able to control everything, but the pen is
still in your hand. You get to choose what gets written right now.
